i don't suspect that cold weather will be much of an issue. if i'm thinking about how cold it is, it means i'm not thinking about what i'm doing on the mound. >> we're used to it. it's a little colder but we have extra clothes and everything will be just fine. >> hard playing in weather like that, but you have to be focused and you have to do the best. no matter what. >> you know what, it's, it's cold but i mean, this is the world series, this is -- it's cold for everybody, it's cold for the fans and the beer is cold. it's gratdeat, enjoy it. >> reporter: one player that the cold might affect more than the others is hector sanchez who the manager says he's leaning towards using as his dh. he will not be catching, just hitting. nbc bay area news. >> very good, thank you, jamie.

park. the overflow from the world series is even better. >> the giants have definitely had a bigger following. >> thompson says now good regular season games double his business. games one and two of the series -- >> i would say maybe triple, yeah, january is always a tough month for restaurants and bars so it gives you that little extra cushion you need to get the winner. >> san francisco chamber of commerce vice president says there are no official estimates for how much more money the world series is bringing. >> october is a busy time in the bay area anyway, but this puts that icing on top of the cake. it helps the entire region. if san francisco is full, the overflow goes to oakland and down the peninsula. >> he adds it has a long term effect, for those contemplating their next vacation or business.

>> you see in the night before the world series, that helps people make decisions. >> as for the rest of series -- >> if things don't work well in detroit, they'll come back. in a weird sort of way that's what the businesses would want. >> reporter: thompson says, not him. >> we win no matter what. the excitement is going to be there no matter where they are when they win. >> reporter: and notice there he said not if but when the giants win. detroit has a different picture as far as economic impact. i talked with a spokesperson and she told me that usually tigers home games generate $5.5 million for the city. they are hoping to generate $26 million from three games. but again, that's only if they get to game five. nbc bay area news. we'll be following this the whole way. stay with nbc bay area for complete coverage of the giants world seriar rry run.

>> enough of the cold, we want sunshine for the weekend. let's bring in jeff ranieri. >> we have sunshine for everybody who can't go to detroit and will enjoy the game at some sort of establishment. we have dry weather across most of california. that's the great news. all of the storm activity pushed well out. 75 in fairfield and livermore. close to 80 in santa rosa, also for santa theresa with 78 and 74 in san jose. the winds drying out for 36 hours out of the north and slightly out of the west as well. that was good enough to give us this kind of warming today, los gatos going from 55 to 70 this afternoon. that was our biggest warming on the map. now let's bring you back to current temperatures. it's kind of mild when you think of where we were earlier this week and livermore and low 70s back into concord and santa

rosa. you'll find a bit of haze with this strong wind and in san francisco we are fog free at this hour. we even have a little bit of orange in the sky over the past half hour. maybe an indication of how things will go with the giants. warming trend is still expected for this weekend. high pressure building offshore, not only warmer air associated with it but the slight drying wind out of the north will increase our fire danger a little bit then we'll have 80s in your seven-day forecast into this weekend. for tomorrow at the coast line, we're looking at sunny skies by the afternoon and low 70s by the bay, mid to upper 70s inland. we're going to do it. low 80s expected by the afternoon. as far as the giants go, we heard a lot about the cold and all of the sports just before this hit and here you can see it. temperatures in the 40s on saturday and sunday and monday. towards the end of the game throughout sunday and monday, we'll go down into the 30s and

windchills that may approach the upper 20s and low 30s as winds on sunday and monday should be 15 to 30 miles per hour, maybe even a little snow on the end of monday's game. on the three-day forecast we have temperatures in the low 80s by this weekend. as we head throughout next monday, we'll look ahead towards our next storm system. we're going to detail the timing on the rainfall in the 7-day forecast and the latest on the hurricane sandy path for the east coast coming up later in the show. still ahead here at 6:00, arnold schwarzenegger's next movie project will bring back memories. a dangerous problem on hundreds and thousands of cars. could core blood be used to cure autism? i'll show you high a core blood registry in the bay area is playing a critical role in new research.

clinical trial investigating whether cord blood cells can cure autism. >> this will accept 30 children between the ages of 2 and 7 who have a confirmed diagnosis of autism that's not known to be caused by a genetic factor. >> reporter: those children receive infusions of their own stem cells which they cannot reject. they were banked with they were newborns and stored in the registry. the research will be done at the center newer science institute in sacramento. the theory the stem cells will regulate their immune system and stimulate neurological repair. >> stem cells may have an impact on regulating the immune system or the nervous system either directly or indirectly. >> reporter: the hope is the new stem cells that have not been exposed to infection or chemicals can get patient's bodies to rev their own ability

to repair damage. >> we should know in the stem cell treatments are making a difference within a year. if it's successful, a sibling's cell could work as long as a brother or sister shares the same blood type. nbc bay area news. very, very interesting. thank you so much. a nervous weekend on the east coast as hurricane sandy bears down. we'll bring you the very latest. a high ranking senator is sent to the hospital after a car crash in las vegas.

nguyen means interests will battle away from the mayor. but both say they are not beholden to anyone. >> i have voted against the chamber before and voted against labor. i've been independent. my allegiance is to the people of the city. >> if an issue comes up and i feel this is the right thing to do, that's the way i'll vote regardless of who brings it up or who's against it. >> reporter: voters in evergreen will decide on november 6th. the candidates did have a debate sponsored by the league of women voters, you can google it to find out more about the candidates, we're live in everygreen community, i'm damian trujillo. now for the presidential race, the campaign schedules are already being affected by the super storm barreling towards the east coast. early voting could be disrupted by this weather. but today mitt romney took a

break from his ohio marathon and went to -- a romney administration will reach across the aisle to get things down in washington. >> these things we can only do if we bridge the divide between the political parties. we're going to meet with democrat and republican leaders in washington regularly. >> president obama is back in washington after wrapping up a 48-hour, eight-state campaign blitz. he's resting by the way his hoarse voice. harry reid is all right after his motorcade got in an incident. the 72-year-old reid suffered rib and hip injuries, six cars, including two las vegas police cars and two capital police vehicles were involved in this early afternoon crash. several members of reid's security team and staffers also suffered minor injuries. not old enough to legally

left to pick. most families are packing up and moving on, following the crops north to oregon and washington. 3,000 miles away, in the halls of congress, the issue of child labor and agriculture has gained new attention. >> i was shocked because i really do believe this is one of our country's dirty little secrets. >> reporter: that's why, after watching our investigation documenting child labor here in california and in north carolina, los angeles congress woman lucille ball ahard is calling for change. >> there are today in this country children working under deplorable conditions and not equally protected under our child labor laws and these are the children who work in agriculture. >> and you want to change that? >> i want to change sna. >> the care act, legislation she first pushed here 12 years ago. >> the care act introduced in

order to give children in agriculture here in the united states the same protections that children have in every other indust industry. >> there are others here in congress not so eager to protect children working in agriculture. >> there's no need for it. >> charles grassley of iowa is a co-sponsor of a bill that would do the opposite. it's called the preserving america's family farms act. it would prohibit the government from changing rules governing children working in agriculture, rules that date back to 1938. >> wopt be beyond unusual to put in 14 or 18 hour days and there's probably no difference between dad putting it in and a 12-year-old boy putting it in. >> why is agriculture exempt though. >> the same kid couldn't work in a family dunkin' donuts or clothing store or your office if

he or she were 12. >> i think because of the family being involved with it and working side by side with mom and dad. >> reporter: other co-sponsors the preserving america's family farms act were less willing to talk. they canceled at the last minute and the press secretary for the by him's main sponsor, tom latham he had he was too busy attending to needs of constituents to talk to us in san francisco. there is little debate among these families working on large farms. for them it may be complicated politically yet it's very simple economics, while the parents may not want the children to have to work the fields, most families have to have them there in order to make ends meet. >> they do what they go to do. >> connie knows the farm worker life firsthand. she worked these very same fields as a young child and

recently seen children as young as 6 years old helping harvest rais raisins. >> they dump them in and pull in the paper, it's unconscionable. >> the congresswoman acknowledges the quan dri but she says protecting children is para mount. >> the majority of the children that the care act will protect, are actually employs of large corporate farms, not family farms. >> is mom and dad also working besides the 12-year-old? >> oh, yeah, they make so little money, they need the children to help make ends meet. >> reporter: when put into that context, even iowa senator grassry seemed to back away. >> i think as long as i have not been in those fields, i better not answer. >> we reached out to a dozen major corporations who package

around ald schwarzenegger is back in a familiar role. think of 30 years ago. he's honored to play conan the bar bear yan in the legend of conan. it was developed specifically for schwarzenegger, the third time he'll play this role. the 65-year-old starred in the two previous conan films in 1982 and 1984. >> santa cruz, a slice of hollywood in our own backyard. chasing mavericks opens in theaters all across the country. >> big wave surfing is a different ball game. >> the movie follows the life of santa cruz big waive surfer jay mord yarddy. you may remember gir ard butler was pulled under the water at mavericks during filming and was

got a big night out planned, you've got a lot of traffic there but maybe some of the cars are zooming by. let's bring you down into san jose and city lights shining bright and also the stars, very isible here throughout tonight with the clear skies and that offshore wind help to keep any fog out of the picture. the storm track that brought us three storms in three days earlier this week will lift off to the north. that's going to make way for the high pressure offshore. it's not going to move drekly on top of california so that will spare us from 90 degree heat. it's going to be somewhere in between here. won't get hot at the coast line but near santa cruz, 70s and 80s back through the interior valleys, saturday the best day of the weekend and throughout sunday we will start to see the fog building at the coastline. for tonight, another chilly one with low 50s expected in the north bay and plenty of low 50s into the santa clara valley.

for saturday we'll top out the warmest weather with the slight north wind moving right down the hills and get this warming, 83 in santa rosa, 82 in livermore, not so bad in san jose with an expected 78 degrees. now much different for the giants after all of the sunshine the past game. they are going to be heading into much colder weather. take a look at this for saturday and sunday and also monday, temperatures will be starting in the 40s here at 5:00 p.m. a slight chance of showers for saturday but nothing that will rain out the game and also going to be windy for each and every one of those games and maybe snow flurries as we head to the end of that will wind chills that will likely be in the 0's, chance of rain only 1% as we head throughout game three and chance of a rain delay 10% at this point. the players are not worried about and definitely be wearing their layers. we know a lot of you have weekend plans that may take you

to the east coast. it's a minimal category one with winds at 75 miles per hour but a strong central pressure will have the storm system holding up. we do expect the landfall at this point near washington, d.c. sometime on tuesday. keep in mind a slight shift in the track to the north 100 miles or to the south and we could have drastically different impacts. we're looking at flooding rain and storm surge potential and millions without power as we head throughout early next week. this is going to be a storm that everybody will be watching closely over the next several days. for this weekend we are expecting low 80s across the bay area. there's the warm-up. enjoy this weekend. it's a nice little gem in the 7-day, as we head throughout next week, we have those spooky showers for wednesday and rain by thursday of next week. i think the -- if you're going without costume, or face paint.

>> cotton candy. >> i don't know, if it rains can't do that. >> brody is with us. >> how is it going? with the giants holding a 2-0 lead it's very possible we've already seen the final home game from them this season. but now on the road in an american league ballpark the rules do change. bruce bochy will have the luxury of a designated hitter. >> right now i would say hector sanchez. could change my mind tonight. but to be honest, that's how i'm thinking right now and he's a switch hitter and had a pretty good year with the bat when he's been out there. he's my dh right now. >> taking the opportunity to play right here dh, it will be
